A 36-year-old Jersey City resident was stabbed twice in the shoulder on South Street west of Summit Avenue at about 3 a.m. Wednesday after calling a friend for a car ride, according to a police report.

The victim was leaving a South Street apartment with a 19-year-old female companion and telephoned a friend to ask for a ride to their destination, the police report said.

According to the woman, the man’s friend drove up in a red Chevrolet Malibu with three other men and parked at Pierce and South streets.

The woman told police that a man got out the car and accosted her, and when her friend, the man who had called for the ride, intervened, the man who was bothering her punched her friend, according to police reports.

As the two men fought, another man from the vehicle tossed a knife to the man who had arrived by car and he stabbed the woman’s friend twice in the left shoulder, the woman told police.

The knife-wielding man and the other people in the car then sped off in the vehicle.

The woman’s friend was treated at the Jersey City Medical Center and refused to give police any information, saying he would handle the matter on his own, reports said.
